With the First Pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles Select...

[Drunkmasterflex]

I'd be cool with Sweed, Devin Thomas or DeSean Jackson in the 1st.

Me too, and I would throw Hardy into that mix as well.  I have a feeling that Thomas could wind up in Buffalo.  Another guy I wouldn't mind seeing the Eagles take in the 1st would be Mike Jenkins.  I don't think there will be any OL that are worth a 1st when they pick.

I've heard mixed things about Jordy Nelson. He has the skills and was great last year, but is projected to go as a late 3rd or 4th rounder. Could be a sleeper if the Eagles want to pick Jackson in the first and another receiver later.

Diddy's 5 sleepers

Last year, he touted Stewart Bradley, who was taken by the Eagles in Round 3 and might be the starting middle linebacker this season.

Diddy's 5 sleepers

Running back/receiver/returner/quarterback/holder Jayson Foster, Georgia Southern, 5-9, 170 pounds, 4.32 time in the 40. Shhh. Don't tell anybody. This guy's name doesn't even show up in a lot of draft books, Didinger said. But ... "to me, he has the potential to be the most exciting player out of the bunch." Didinger envisions this undersized but "lightning-fast" athlete as "a wonderful wild card player." As a quarterback - yes, quarterback - last season, he rushed for 1,844 yards and 24 touchdowns. OK, he's not going to be an NFL QB, but he's "electrifying," with "tremendous acceleration," and on one 60-yard touchdown run made everyone miss so badly he was hardly touched, Didinger said. Note to the Eagles: Foster was also a threat as a place holder, because he'd run with the ball or throw it. So if used creatively at receiver and maybe running back, as well on as special teams, he could be a dandy asset. If people aren't impressed that he also won the Walter Payton Award as the nation's best small-college player, recall a few other winners: Steve McNair, Tony Romo and the Eagles' Brian Westbrook.

I actually wouldn't mind them getting a guy like this.  If creatively used... could come in handy.  Doesn't hurt at all that he can do so many things.

I don't see the words 'white', 'mormon' or 'linebacker' in there anywhere.

[Rome]

Diddy's losing it.

I wouldn't mind a guy like Foster at all if they pass on Jackson.

[SD_Eagle5]

Diddy's losing it.

[Rome]

Okay you convinced me.

I'm waiting to see if reese and IGY have conflicting opinions on this.... with hilarious results!

I'd take my chances with those 5, although I've heard Johnston's name mentioned alot lately.

Yo Feva I don't know if you remember the hood days like I do, but back in those hard times there was a fellow on the EMB by the name of FissionMailed. He goes to Georgia Southern now and was actually telling me about Foster earlier in the year.

Disagree with IGY and piss off RJS. It's what being on the internet is all about.
